Areas of Expertise
Wireless communications, networking
Laneman specializes in the areas of communications and signal processing, with a particular emphasis on wireless communications and networking. Widely credited as a pioneer of cooperative diversity, an area of communications that deals with making wireless links more reliable through the use of signal relays, his seminal papers on the subject have been highly cited by other communications researchers. In addition to theoretical work, Laneman and his research group are developing a wireless network testbed, based upon software-defined radio (SDR), to encourage the implementation and verification of communications algorithms and to enhance SDR technology. The team is working to make SDR more portable, affordable and reliable for a variety of applications. As part of this effort, Laneman’s team has obtained funding from the National Institute of Justice to develop SDR technology in order to help public safety and emergency response personnel better communicate, especially during catastrophic events, when traditional infrastructure is unavailable or inoperable.
